The research recognizes the importance of road infrastructure in the economic and social development of countries. These projects are capital intensive and have a long-life cycle; Its operation/exploitation stage is complex to manage, due to information asymmetry during the stages of the economic horizon; such novelty constitutes the problem to be solved in asset management. The solution at the conceptual design level incorporates comprehensive information models and "Digital Twins" technology along with artificial intelligence and industry 4.0 algorithms, which allows optimizing the strategic decision process. Then, based on the current situation of technological transformation of the infrastructure sector, a business management model is proposed that offers an environment for making informed decisions to all agents/actors. This technological challenge is assumed with the "Design Science Research" methodology to model a business scheme that tends to strengthen missional processes, in response to the risks of information governance of road assets, in Public-Private Partnership business models, under the "Project Finance" modality. The proposed technological integration maximizes the generation of value of the facilities, in economic, social and sustainable development terms, with the ultimate objective of improving people's quality of life. The conceptual design provides a knowledge base for the Basic Engineering of the model and advance in the "Smart Roads" paradigm, in correspondence with the guidelines of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Globalization and integration processes have brought about changes in the world's cities, ranging from population growth to the appearance of complex problems that are difficult to solve. As a result of these changes, smart cities have emerged, which seek to solve the challenges of the contemporary city through interconnected intelligent systems, based on new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), achieving a more efficient management of natural and economic resources. This study aimed to define a prototype of digital twins for the development of smart cities in the canton of Portoviejo. Its theoretical support identifies and explains the existing models that are considered representative of Smart Cities (IC), and aims to expose how they are integrated, developed and operate. The study is exploratory, conclusive, descriptive and causal, with a mixed methodology. The results showed that Portoviejo reflects low levels of innovation and ICT development, which hinders the realization of action plans and the leadership of smart city projects. Although municipal initiatives are emerging to strengthen this sector, they must be coordinated and work together with other actors, such as educational institutions and private companies, to dynamically shape the technological and innovation ecosystem. In summary, the canton of Portoviejo must define its own vision of the future and rely on the prototype of inclusive planning and digital twins, exposed in this research to create innovative solutions to the challenges of the city.

This article proposes a method to calculate the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) indicator. This proposal is based on using the concept of a digital twin of a team to calculate the OEE indicator, considering aspects related to the industrial digital transformation that are currently required by companies.

Digital twins replicate the functioning of an object or process in a virtual model that serves as the basis for experimentation. Building Information Models (BIM), are driving the digitization of the construction sector through the use of multidisciplinary models and collaboration in the cloud. The aim of this study is to offer an approach for the incremental design of a digital twins based on BIM technology, to achieve a total operational management of the construction facility. The conceptual elements of digital twins are offered, with emphasis on their character as a virtual model, which includes simulation of the behavior of their physical twin in real time. The main existing approaches for incremental design of BIM-based digital twins are also revealed and a general architecture is presented, which is based on a minimum viable maturity level for early adopters of this technology.

The European Union has launched the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative to develop a high-precision interactive computer simulation of the Earth. The objective is to study and predict the interaction between natural phenomena and human activities. The European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) will collaborate on this project. The ECMWF will be responsible for producing "digital twins" of complex terrestrial systems, while EUMETSAT will provide a data repository. The initiative aims to unlock the potential of digital modeling of the Earth system and consolidate access to valuable data sources throughout Europe. Although there are doubts about the involvement of member countries in these initiatives, both the ECMWF and EUMETSAT have approved their participation in Destination Earth.
